further, how do you explain the fact that -
1. Individuals in a coma, hooked-up to hi-fat Ensure; and yet with no exercise, yet are slender... 
&
2. Individuals living the time of their lives, passionate about everything they do, including Eating & Exercise, and yes maintaining their weight how they want it, in ease & quickly.

I havent got a clue what you are on about. where did i say the OP is a world class athlete? what, you have never used examples of successful individuals in your debates before, no?
the weakest form of argument, is to argue from extremes. how many of the millions of obese humans are hooked up to hi fat ensure? how many of the millions of obese people are in a coma? tell me can these COMATOSE individuals control their own diet? NO. That was a weak argument. Do you think a comatosed individual takes in as much calories as they do normally? do the comatosed eat fried food, soda, sugar, white flour baked goods through their drip? No i didnt think so?
and how many individuals come to this forum having the time of their lives, passionate about their lives, careers, relationships and are very much overweight? unlike financial success, relationship and the like where you can accumalate money or moments which can carry you through lean times, what you did 4 mths ago dont count for zilch.
if you are a millionaire and stopped working for a 2 mths, providing you dont have a large mortgage, you probably wont feel a hit. besides no mortgage will dent a million in 2 mths. if you are in a 5 yr relationship, and had a bad 2mths after a blissful 4 yr 10 mths, you will probably be fine. but if you are dont watch what you eat and exercise, you can put on 30lbs in a couple of mths, easily.
By the way, you still have not refuted anything i said
joy is not a
requirement for fat loss and weight maintenance. self discipline is.
exercise and controllled diet is. it is definately a great aid. plus remember people are more motivated by pain than by pleasure. action is the only requirement for fat loss and just about anything you want. the emotional component helps or hinders greatly. but that is a choice.
